Load a tmux session
Load tmux sessions via json and YAML, tmuxinator and teamocil style.
session_name: 4-pane-split
windows:
- window_name: dev window
layout: tiled
shell_command_before:
- cd ~/ # run as a first command in all panes
panes:
- shell_command: # pane no. 1
- cd /var/log # run multiple commands in this pane
- ls -al | grep \.log
- echo second pane # pane no. 2
- echo third pane # pane no. 3
- echo forth pane # pane no. 4
Save as mysession.yaml, and load:
$ tmuxp load ./mysession.yaml
Projects with .tmuxp.yaml or .tmuxp.json load via directory:
$ tmuxp load path/to/my/project/
Load multiple at once (in bg, offer to attach last):
$ tmuxp load mysession ./another/project/
Name a session:
$ tmuxp load -s session_name ./mysession.yaml
simple and very elaborate config examples
User-level configurations
tmuxp checks for configs in user directories:
$TMUXP_CONFIGDIR, if set$XDG_CONFIG_HOME, usually $HOME/.config/tmuxp/$HOME/.tmuxp/
Load your tmuxp config from anywhere by using the filename, assuming ~/.config/tmuxp/mysession.yaml (or .json):
$ tmuxp load mysession
See author's tmuxp configs and the projects' tmuxp.yaml.
Shell
New in 1.6.0:
tmuxp shell launches into a python console preloaded with the attached
server, session, and window in
libtmux objects.
$ tmuxp shell
(Pdb) server
<libtmux.server.Server object at 0x7f7dc8e69d10>
(Pdb) server.sessions
[Session($1 your_project)]
(Pdb) session
Session($1 your_project)
(Pdb) session.name
'your_project'
(Pdb) window
Window(@3 1:your_window, Session($1 your_project))
(Pdb) window.name
'your_window'
(Pdb) window.panes
[Pane(%6 Window(@3 1:your_window, Session($1 your_project)))
(Pdb) pane
Pane(%6 Window(@3 1:your_window, Session($1 your_project))
Supports PEP
553 breakpoint()
(including PYTHONBREAKPOINT). Also supports direct commands via -c:
$ tmuxp shell -c 'print(window.name)'
my_window
$ tmuxp shell -c 'print(window.name.upper())'
MY_WINDOW
Read more on tmuxp shell in the CLI docs.
Pre-load hook
Run custom startup scripts (such as installing project dependencies before loading tmux. See the bootstrap_env.py and before_script example
Load in detached state
You can also load sessions in the background by passing -d flag
Screenshot
Freeze a tmux session
Snapshot your tmux layout, pane paths, and window/session names.
$ tmuxp freeze session-name
See more about freezing tmux sessions.
Convert a session file
Convert a session file from yaml to json and vice versa.
$ tmuxp convert filename
This will prompt you for confirmation and shows you the new file that is going to be written.
You can auto confirm the prompt. In this case no preview will be shown.
$ tmuxp convert -y filename
$ tmuxp convert --yes filename
Plugin System
tmuxp has a plugin system to allow for custom behavior. See more about the Plugin System.
Debugging Helpers
The load command provides a way to log output to a log file for
debugging purposes.
$ tmuxp load --log-file <log-file-name> .
